| Description | The SuperB Racer brings back one of the most iconic names in Bont history, rebuilt using the advanced construction methods found in our latest performance boots. Designed for serious speed skaters, it combines a responsive carbon fiber base, premium Australian leather, and a fully heat-moldable fit. Key Product Points One-piece construction integrates the leather upper directly into the carbon fiber shell for greater strength and responsiveness Premium 1.2 mm full grain Australian leather provides lasting durability and naturally conforms to the foot Fully heat-moldable carbon base allows skaters to refine the fit for improved comfort, support and control Zero heel lift design places the foot close to the mounting surface for direct power transfer Available in sizes 35 to 49, with standard, narrow, wide and double wide fit options Product Description Over 50 Years of Bont Innovation The SuperB Racer is inspired by the original Super Bont, introduced by Inze Bont in 1975. That boot helped establish Bont as an innovator in speed skating and began a continuous process of improving how a skate boot should fit, respond, and transfer power. More than 50 years later, the SuperB name returns with modern carbon fiber technology, premium materials and Bont- ?s signature one-piece construction. The result is a carbon fiber speed skate boot that respects its history without being limited by it. It is made for skaters who appreciate the classic appearance of a leather racing boot but expect the performance, fit, and responsiveness of current Bont racing equipment. Made for Serious Speed Skaters The SuperB Racer is designed for speed skaters who want a close, supportive fit and an immediate connection between the foot and the skate. It is suitable for experienced racers, developing competitive skaters, and dedicated club skaters who value control, power transfer, and long-term durability. The low-cut U-shaped design allows natural ankle movement while keeping the heel and lower foot securely supported. Unlike heavily padded recreational boots, the SuperB Racer is shaped to hold the foot precisely. Memory foam padding provides comfort where it is needed, while the carbon fiber shell creates the firm structure required for efficient skating. This balance helps the boot feel secure without making it unnecessarily bulky or restrictive. Bont One Piece Construction The most important development in the SuperB Racer is its one-piece construction. Many skate boots are produced using a two-piece manufacturing process. A carbon base is completed first, then a separate upper is attached to it. This approach is faster and less expensive, but the connection between the upper and base relies heavily on adhesives. Some of the visible stitching on these boots may be decorative rather than structural. Bont takes a different approach. The premium Australian leather upper, reinforcing materials, and carbon fiber base are brought together as part of the boot- ?s construction. Structural stitching helps secure the leather and anti-stretch materials to the carbon chassis, creating a stronger and more direct connection between the skater and the boot. This process requires more time and skilled workmanship, but it produces a boot with a more integrated structure. Rather than feeling like an upper attached to a rigid base, the SuperB Racer functions as a single unit. For the skater, this means greater responsiveness, improved durability and less unwanted movement inside the boot. Direct and Efficient Power Transfer Every movement inside a skate boot uses energy. If the foot lifts, slides, or compresses excessive padding, some of the force generated by the skater is lost before it reaches the frame, plate, or wheels. The SuperB Racer is designed to reduce this wasted movement. Its rigid carbon fiber base supports the foot through each push, while the integrated upper helps hold the heel and midfoot securely. When pressure is applied through the stride, the boot responds immediately. This direct feeling is especially important during starts, acceleration, crossovers, and powerful finishing efforts. The skater receives clearer feedback from the skate and can make smaller corrections with greater confidence. The carbon construction also helps keep the boot light without sacrificing the structural support required for racing. Premium Australian Leather The outer skin is made from premium 1.2 mm full grain Australian leather. It was selected for its strength, durability and ability to develop a more personal fit over time. Leather provides a classic appearance that suits the SuperB name's heritage, but its benefits extend beyond style. As the boot is used, the leather gradually conforms to the shape and movement of the foot. This allows the upper to become more comfortable while the carbon fiber base continues to provide firm support. The leather is also practical for regular training and competition. With basic care, it maintains its appearance and performance over a long service life. Comfort Without Unnecessary Bulk Inside the boot, a soft Suede L liner provides a comfortable surface against the foot. The liner is paired with memory foam padding that adapts to the skater- ?s shape and helps distribute pressure around sensitive areas. The padding is carefully balanced. There is enough cushioning to improve comfort and heel security, but not so much that the foot feels disconnected from the carbon base. An EVA innersole adds a thin layer of cushioning under the foot. EVA is light, supportive and suitable for the close-fitting environment of a racing boot. Together, the liner, memory foam, and innersole make the SuperB Racer comfortable from the first session while allowing the skater to retain the precise feeling expected of a performance speed skate boot. Fully Heat Moldable Carbon Base Every skater- ?s feet are different. Even when two people wear the same size, they may have different heel shapes, arch profiles, or pressure points. The SuperB Racer uses an epoxy thermoset resin system that allows the carbon base to be fully heat molded. Heat molding allows the shape of the boot to be refined around the foot, improving heel hold and relieving pressure where required. This can create a more secure and comfortable fit than relying on standard sizing alone. A properly fitted heat-moldable skate boot can also reduce unwanted foot movement, helping the skater maintain better control through demanding racing movements. The boot can be molded again if further adjustment is needed. For the best results, heat molding should be performed carefully, either according to Bont- ?s instructions or with assistance from an experienced skate fitter. Zero Heel Lift Design The SuperB Racer has a heel rise of 0 mm, following Bont- ?s zero heel lift philosophy. This design places the heel closer to the mounting surface, creating a direct connection between the foot and the skate. It allows the skater to control their position through technique rather than relying on an elevated heel built into the boot. The flat base also provides a stable platform for mounting a suitable racing setup. Fit Options for More Foot Shapes A performance boot can only work correctly when the fit is right. For this reason, the SuperB Racer is available in sizes 35 to 49 and four fit options: standard, narrow, wide, and double wide. These choices allow more skaters to find the correct combination of length and width without automatically moving to a fully custom boot. The correct fit should hold the heel securely and support the foot without causing excessive pressure. Skaters should check the Bont size guide and measure both feet before ordering, rather than selecting a size based only on regular footwear. Classic Character, Modern Performance The SuperB Racer combines the character of an iconic Bont boot with the construction technology developed over decades of modern speed skating. Its premium leather upper gives it a timeless appearance. Underneath, the one-piece carbon construction, fully heat-moldable base, memory foam padding, and zero-heel-lift design provide the fit and response demanded by today- ?s skaters. Choose the SuperB Racer if you want a leather speed skate boot with genuine racing performance, precise control, and a construction method designed for long-term use.
